Mo fun with WoFun Napoleonics

Hi all, just a quick update… the project is on hold for a bit cos of this….

Ah, so I didn’t dream doing this last night – was in a bit of a haze! Hoping to get an all clear about his weight gain/loss today so wife can get some kip – he is/was a reluctant feeder so feed schedule to stick to which gives her 1 hr 20mins every 3 for sleep, eating, and everything else she may need/want to do…

sorry not much “tutoring” in this post, for tips on how to get you own google is you friend (so is private browser!)

Hello, its been a little bit longer than planned, but here is an update on the Nappy’s.

I’ve ended up taking them into work so that I can work on these in relative peace, and have a fair few bits done…

So this is using enough figs for 4 bases (16 figs), and each of the specific 6 battalions for the French in the box, and the inf bases that came with the pledge that I believe i chose (I’m 35 now, the mind is slipping!).

I like the 4 figs rather than 6 figs (a) cos its less figs and am cheap (I was even before moving to Yorkshire), and (b) the lads fit better and easier.

However, I still had thoughts on what bases to use. I am primarily using Laselle by Sam Mastufa as my guide – I have numerous rule sets that I am flitting between but this was the set i could lay my hands on easiest! Hence the 4 base set up. One of the “recommended” basing set ups, still using 4 figs was 1.5 in x 0.5 in so i ordered a couple trial sets from the lovely and patient people at Warbases to see what I thought and the results are below.

I would be interested on any thoughts peeps have on this.

I prefer the 2×2 set up on the wofun bases for the look of it but am fairly happy with the single rank look as well.

If I go single, the slots will need a bit of tinkering to make them slightly longer to fit more figs – I tried a couple of Brits before I found a some that 16 would fit into the slots provided, but that is just tweaking, and would have been sorted if i had bothered to take accurate measurements.

The final question for the group is whether to colour in the sides or not. Steve/Torros mentioned it as a suggestion and am coin tossing the look v the additional time it will take

Hope this was interesting for anyone – I mean I’ll continue regardless but if there are questions anyone has then let me know.

Am going to finish all the infantry off before looking at the cav. I also need to source some Generals as that is one thing the range is currently missing.

Hi all, following @avernos show and tell of Wofuns ancients in a recent XlBS I thought I would do my own now the black box has landed.

So on opening, once reading my letter, ignoring my pledge reward that was separate the time, I saw something like image 1 below.

I have also done a close up of the spruce (that happens to be the reward spruce), face on an Lloyd (images 2 and 3)

So using that spruce and the bases it came with, ignoring an internet full of references from their website I “made” my first file in colour unit for more years than I want to admit… the dog was thrilled for me…

So initial thoughts.

I am pleased – about 1hr, not overly focused and not actually watching the clock and a unit was “done” I need jostle the lads about to find how best to set them up but they were mostly in situ.

The figs are more “brittle” than I was expecting- this is my experience (or lack thereof) with the material. One lad did take the hit from my clumsiness, but am hoping a squeeze of poly cement will hold.

On the wider box the cannon in mdf are interesting- built one, was a bit finicky but it’s there. The slot on the barrel piece to fix the wheels is “square” on which means the gun carriage floats currently. Again might just be me but I will play more later and write up.

First however I need to get this packed away before the missus gets home, make some more Dwarves for a saga game I have on Wednesday next, and probably set the house up for a baby…
